| BTS

HYBE has escalated its response to the pre-release leak of BTS's 'ARIRANG', moving beyond DMCA takedowns to active litigation. The label is pursuing legal action to unmask and sue the anonymous X (formerly Twitter) user responsible for leaking the album ahead of its official release. The move signals an aggressive IP enforcement stance by HYBE as ARIRANG continues its record-breaking chart run.
